New DDR4 Record on AMD Ryzen Platform: DDR4-4079.2 MHz

[Raevenlord]

A new DDR4 overclocking record was achieved by Australian overclocker "newlife", breathing new life towards Ryzen's memory frequency support. Don't just count your fireworks right now, though: while impressive the result came with some caveats in the form of the user's Ryzen 5 1400 CPU: it was down-locked to a paltry, performance-murdering 800 MHz.

After shipping with what could be considered by some as broken DDR4 memory support, AMD's Ryzen platform has in the meantime received the proper amount of care such a pivoting product for AMD should. A series of AGESA updates which improved AMD's performance in gaming, as well as DDR4 memory support have been under distribution since the platform's launch, and those updates have surely worked towards achieving this record today. The score was achieved with a single 8 GB G.Skill Trident Z E-die memory kit, which is usually rated for 3600 MHz frequencies (F4-3600C17-4GTZ), using 18-20-20-58-93-1 timings. This module was seated on a GIGABYTE AORUS AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard (F4 BIOS).

*le sigh* This is right up there with CPU OCs with all-but-one-core disabled.

Is it though? A single E-die RAM-stick and a CPU clock of 800Mhz does not say that much.

wow he managed to make a stick of dd4 run at a 4000Mhz with 800mhz core clock with timings looser then your sisters v**
I can go over to newegg and buy a 4000Mhz kit ....

go away amd

How's that again? The patient is dead, unplug life support and deny everything...

Nope pretty sure it was only a 4GB dimm unless 4096MB is sudenly equal to 8GB he used 1 dimm in an 2x4GB kit not an 8GB dimm nor was it both 4GB dimms HE USED ONE DIMM
